1. A belt and pulley sys- two or more pulleys in common to a belt.
tem is characterized
by
2. What does a belt mechanical power, torque, and speed to be transmitted across axles
and pulley system
allow for?
3. How is mechanical if the pulleys are different diameters
advantage realized?
4. what is a pulley? a wheel on an axle or shaft that is designed to support movement and change
of direction of a cable or belt along its circumference
5. Why are pulleys lift loads
used? apply forces
trasmit power
6. What is usually the rope, cable, belt or chain that runs over the pulley inside the groove
drive element of a
pulley?
7. Pulleys are assem- a block and tackle in order to provide mechanical advantage to apply large
bled to form what forces
8. rope and pulley sys- the use of a single continuous rope to transmit a tension force around one or
tems (block and more pulleys to lift or move a load
tackle) are charac-
terized by what? the rope may be a light line or a strong cable
9. What is the mechan- the number of parts of the rope that act on the load
